"H'm!" said I. "What did he say to that?" Henriette laughed long and loud at the recollection of the aged bank president's reply.
"Nothing so vulgar," said Henriette. "Just a little management that's all. And, by-the-way, Bunny, when you get a chance, please hire twenty safe-deposit boxes for me in as many different trust companies here and in New York and don't have 'em too near together. That's all for the present."
